Question

Simplify, using the distributive property and then combining like terms. 5(3a+b)−2(3a+b)

Answer 1

Answer:

9a + 3b

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5(3a + b) - 2(3a + b) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 15a + 5b - 6a - 2b ← collect like terms

= 9a + 3b

Answer 2

Answer:

The final answer would be $9a + 3b$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following equation:

$5(3a+b)-2(3a+b)$

Use Distributive Property:

$5(3a+b)-2(3a+b)$

$15a + 5b - 6a - 2b$

-Combine $15a$ and $6a$:

$15a + 5b - 6a - 2b$

$9a + 5b - 2b$

-Combine $5b$ and $-2b$:

$9a + 5b - 2b$

$9a + 3b$

So, the answer is $9a + 3b$ .
